The Disney Princesses at Harrods

Tuesday, October 23, 2012

Hold onto your glass slippers and tiaras! Something magical is taking place this Christmas at Harrod's Department Store. They've collaborated with Disney and every window at Harrod's will be transformed into a princess theme this holiday season. If you're in London, definitely take your little one. Harrods even has a Disney pop-up boutique within the famous department store. Each window will showcase a different Disney princess wearing gorgeous designer gowns. Harrod's enlisted top designers to re-envision the gowns worn by the original princesses. Fashion designers and powerhouses Marchesa, Elie Saab, Donatella Versace, Valentino, Escada, Missoni, Roberto Cavalli, Jenny Packham, Oscar de la Renta, and Ralph & Russo have created "new" and "updated" looks for our beloved princesses. The dreamy sketches are below, and the attached video shows these designs come to life. Do you have a favorite?

Mulan - Missoni
Harrods - "A land of silk and jade has inspired this oriental
kimono-style dazzling creation, that features bold turquoise shades and
red detailing."

Pocahontas - Roberto Cavalli
Harrods - "Featuring soft, golden and natural earthy colours, this gown
incorporates prints evocative of dream catchers with pearl detailing.
The lightness of a feather and the wings of a butterfly, it is perfect
for a princess in love with freedom."

Oh, I wish I lived in London. I adore this. I was scrolling the sketches going "This is my favorite. No, this one's better" haha. I think Sleeping beauty's is my favorite, but the color of Jasmine's in the video is stunning.

I was so excited to hear about this, can't wait to see the final pieces, the drawings alone are pretty amazing. I can't get past the Elie Saab of course and Versace seems to be doing an exceptional Cinderella!

I've always love the disney princesses...the sketches were beautiful but seeing them in the video was something else...completely stunning. Totally in love with Princess Aurora, Ariels, and Rapunzel's dress.

Aurora and Tiana's restyling are my favourites.Tell my little princess who just got Aurora's old-style dress and is scattering glitter all over my living room!!How is your ceiling's reconstruction going?One day I will ask your secret source of all this cool glam-sweet information:-)
